Well, November is toast. Now we can get to work on December, and get 2006 officially behind us. Don’t forget, we get a full dose of the funny today, as Marc and Jim get one more crack at AAR before it goes bankrupt. Call in and say hello, if you get a chance.

Video: Keith Olbermann blasts Newt Gingrich’s ‘sinister vision’
Olbermann says of Gingrich, “He offered the time-tested excuse trotted out by our demagogues since even before the Republic was founded: widespread death, of Americans, in America, possibly at the hands of Americans. But updated, now, to include terrorists using the Internet for recruitment. End result — ‘losing a city.’

New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer is pressing U.S. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales to justify his department’s decision not to investigate whether Maryland Republicans purposely misled voters on Election Day by circulating voter guides listing top state GOP candidates as part of a “Democratic Sample Ballot.”
“The right to vote is perhaps our most essential civil right, the wellspring of our democracy,” Schumer said in a letter sent yesterday to Gonzales. “Unfortunately, the mid-term elections held on November 7, 2006, were tarnished by countless dirty tricks and ugly tactics. The ploy used in Maryland stands out for its sheer cynicism and brazenness.”

Air America has a staff meeting at 11AM EST today
For you AAR interested folks, they have an internal staff meeting at 11AM EST this morning. As many of you know AAR has filed for bankruptcy protection. Today is the final day of the court ordered extension for AAR to announce a restructing, new financing or a new buyer.
Who knows what will come out of the meeting this morning. It could be a black Friday laying off scenario or the announcement of a new owner/operator. Either way, things will be changing for AAR today.
Also, it is rumored that Al Franken is having a party at his house for his radio staff and others this Sunday. The thinking is he may announce his retirement from AAR and his moving forward to run for Norm Coleman’s Minnesota Senate seat in 2008.
This would make sense out of the decision for Ed Schultz (Jones Radio) to move his current three hour radio show to Franken’s current Noon to 3PM EST daily time slot.
AAR could become a much smaller syndicated show producer/distributer keeping only Seder 9A-noon, Randi Rhodes 3p-6p and Thom Hartman 12noon to 3PM. They would be able to focus on getting those shows on many more stations.

AMERICA’S medical system has long seemed a poor bargain. Americans spend far more on health care than the inhabitants of other rich countries, but their life expectancy is below the wealthy world’s average.

I reckon they’re obliged to file something with the bankruptcy court. Either a motion for another extension, or the results of their negotiations with a buyer, or submit a plan for restructuring that will satisfy the court (and their creditors). Either that, or the court will order them to liquidate. Probably appoint somebody to oversee the selling-off of everything.
I can’t remember if Franken sold his NY apt….I can’t imagine its any big party out there
Do you have the file number of their case? That would be a public record.
i would hope we could all agree that healthcare should be a basic human right (obviously we cant) so i would hope we could compromise on the issue and say that every HARD WORKING american holding a full time job (like my uninsured mother) and those incapable of full time employment should be entitled to some form of health care. employers are finding it hard to provide insurance for employees anymore. administration costs are 30% of health care through traditional insurance and only 3% through medicare which system is more efficient? we all pay for health care in one form or another. as it presently stands 1500 dollars of every new automobile produced by ford goes to pay my father and his wifes health insurance. (well employees of ford as a whole not just him!) health care is paid for by everybody now wether through taxes by government or corporation! if we remove the burden from employers to stop them from having to take the time and effort to procure benefits for employees they can spend more time buying houses and renovating them to improve buffalo like hutch claims to do. start making sense people its cheaper to have universal healthcare!

Ford has cut the life insurance benefit for retired employee’s from the equivilent of one years salary to around $17000 as of Jan 1. I think it was on NPR. Some people with terminal illness are deciding to try to die before the end of the year so their families will have something rather than take life-extending treatments.
Hell, Franken’s entire entourage is probably out there in MN with him. All they need back in NY is a couple of people to run the board and make sure nobody hangs up the ISDN line.
I reckon they’re capable of whooping it up out in Minneapolis. They light up the buildings quite nicely this time of year.

In May, the Economist reported that with its current level of assets, the Gates Foundation is second only to to Stichting Ingka Foundation among foundations worldwide. Stichting Ingka Foundation owns the international furniture and home store giant, IKEA.

I can envision the line forming as I write this ..
I vaguely remember that maybe Al was going to turn over his NYC home to his school teacher daughter.
And yes, there is a lot of Al-hating that goes on. It is too bad. He may not be as left as many would like and it seems that some people resent his successes. However, he isn’t one of the bad guys and has done a lot to help move the cause. His show is not nearly as good as it was when Katherine was co-host and it probably is a good time for him to move on to something new but I still appreciate his efforts.
Over at airamericaplace.com, “Bob” says that AAR is still in advanced talks with a buyer, negotiations should be wrapped up by early next week, they’ll be on air at least all through next week and they expect Al to return in January.
Does Sam’s move portend anything?
well also he got out in front of this thing when …well, who else would put their name right in the front of something so experimental. I don’t think they could have gotten any newsworthy name who could hold his own in that atmosphere for less…..he did a good thing and was really accurate in his research and all…..they all were going after him and he had to know his shit….so he was wrth the money. hell, the publicity from his books alone and the feud with olielly was well worth a couple mil in advertising time.
he certainly does his homework….
:whimpering puppy:
AAR probably will not “say” anything until they are leaving for the day; therefore, ANYTIME:!: 😮
Duffy’s died last night. :omg:
Was an Irish bar in Denver way before they were a novelty. (Opened in 1950) Being sold for a parking lot and some retail shops. It was the first bar I went to when I moved here in 1972. The only frikkin’ thing left in downtown from that era is the D&F tower and the Brown Palace hotel. (Not a huge exaggeration) :40::bf:
but he was so much better with katherine…..
I sure hope they have a buyer.
maybe the gates foundation….but gates is making a lot of his money on the backs of outsourced jobs, so shouldn’t it bethe foundation of the workers who lost their jobs? and shouldn’t they get the huge tax breaks that gates is enjoying….? Now there is someone to feel hateful about.
Mastering the treo keyboard…really tiny but palm is such a better plaform than MS mobile…
I don’t disagree with anything you said but he’s got a staff and had some money to begin with. I think he had some Harvard grad students to research his books. Marc is out doing stand-up, writing new material plus it seems like he’s always up on everything politic when ever he gets the call to show up on radio. He’s a far superior interviewer (IMHO)

Melina I soooo agree :nod: ❗
To add “balance” to keep some media talkshows I agree — The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation — should purchase either “to hold” while refinancing or buy or whatever —
AIV
it is much better here imo.
I just don’t think that Als salary and deal has anything to do with the fact that Marc is superior….he is much better but would not have been able to do what Al did back then. Who would want the press scrutiny anyway…even for a couple mil a year?
I have to give Janeane some of that credit, too.
I have to admit if Al had not been on AAR, I would have never discovered the Maron gang. No doubt, Marc is more talented but he is also younger and fresher and being closer to that standup circuit probably helps with that.
:eek:i could do it for a couple mil a year!
One more thing….
Al has great guests and some excellent regulars. Krugman, Oliphant, Ornstein, Conason, and I even enjoy hearing some of the folks I am not always in agreement with like Fineman and Isikoff.
His celebrity does bring in some of the bigger names. The end of the show the other day when Jimmy Carter asked him how the finances were was pretty funny.
I think Al was a major investor in AAR. That seems to be true for Stephie and Ed too. They were also investors in the Jone network . Bill Newcomb is apparently an investor in KPHX too. ..
They say that talk radio has as much to do with the entertainment value as the information they put out .
. I guess some people can’t laugh unless the entertainer laughs. Al seems to want to make all forms of human suffering funny..:rant1:
Al = high end of Medium — KNOWN Salary
Marc = Medium to High end of Low — KNOWN Salary
All is more than a “radio” salary.
but AAR just had a “dream” but not the “financing”/backing.
NOW, hopefully, they will all just “play” radio (salaries).
I had written that Marc should have stayed, like with Sam — but he was hurt and angry — but staying and he would be GOD (a Major Leader)
but regardless he would be a “star”.
* That MM blog almost ate “Me” for Dinner :growl: 😮 :growl:
and some folks don’t like Marc’s fat material. Sometimes comedy is a little warped or cruel.
Enid Goldstein I have not heard in years. I remember a friend of mind thought she was a racist. That may have been in the OJ days.
Sacramento has two prog-talkers. Wish we did. However, neither plays Seder.
AAR’s initial thrust also set up those 80 affiliate stations.
Hosts like Guy James , Goldstein ,Hartman , and Maddow were on the air for several years before AAR happened but they were only on maybe a local station or three or four stations that were syndicating their programs.
Now that liberal talk has been established it will probably continue with or without AAR.
Drobney’s idea of owning the radio stations is a good idea because it keeps conservatives or the religious Reich from buying them .
I think it definitely heads toward syndication rather than network and station ownership and format commitment is key. Otherwise the Clear Channels of the world can drop the format on a whim or your signal can suddenly end up owned by Christian b’casters.
:roll:and we all know how those fundies like to buy stations that play AAR!
The radio market is a low buck market place .. Its hard to run a program with a staff at a minimum of maybe $80.00 a pop per commercial message. You can see why Clear Channel has so many automated stations.
I would think that Maron could probably make 5 grand a week or more if he is on the road all the time doing one or two night gigs.
Sometimes Al drives me freakin’ crazy (I hate it when he runs out of time with an interesting guest, knowing that he’d have had another two minutes w/o one of those maybe funny the first time but gets old fast intros, and I hate it when he tries to interject a “joke” that the guest doesn’t get and he tries to keep throwing it out there, rather than just letting it pass). But, he gets good guests, and I think he has a good heart. And probably a huge ego, but in that business, I think it’s pretty much a job requirement. Sometimes he’s a bit too DLC for me, but that’s OK, too, ‘cuz (shockingly) not everybody agrees with me. Certainly, MN would be better off with him than Norm Coleman. Whatever you think of Al on-air, AAR wouldn’t have happened without him lending his name to it (and Janeane, too).
It’s not uncommon for the most talented to be the lowest paid – in showbiz, and life in general. You can’t appeal to the lowest common denominator and do intelligent, insightful humor (not saying that Al doesn’t do that, just saying that Marc and the MS writers do, and while I find him and them very funny, Marc hasn’t (yet) become a “big star” because you gotta have a brain to “get” him (and there’s a war on brains, as we all know).
The experiment with a combined talk format in the Denver market was only partially unsuccessful because the liberal listeners could not handle the conservative talkers and visa versa.
Most people apparently wanted to turn on the radio and leave it on the same station all day ..
Morning Sedition and Marc Maron Show were probably the two shows that I never had any reason to wince at. Maybe Majority Report and Seder. I have some problems with most of the others.
I just got this from a friend…
Did you know that the FCC is once again considering relaxing the media ownership rules? If they get their way, big media companies will be allowed to get even bigger — and our television, radio and newspapers will be the worse for it.
I sent my message to the FCC, and you should too. Just go to: http://www.commoncause.org/NoMoreConsolidation. The deadline is coming up soon, so do it today! http://tinyurl.com/y53wsj
Out here before right wing talk and then prog-talk we had KGO, the #1 station in the market. Ronn Owens is proudly MOR, vehemently pro-Israel, tries to act like he is hip, and beats Rush. At night they have Gene Burns, a libertarian, Bernie Ward who is very Liberal, and overnight Ray Taliaferro, even more Liberal. Most of their other hosts are right to MOR. Fucking Weiner/Savage started there (I heard him from the get go). Then they started a sister station KSFO for the right, now the proud home of Melanie Morgan who is also married to one of the brass and has a gambling jones.They have managed to stay #1 for decades.
Something about a flamethrower signal that doesn’t hurt in that regard either. At night you can probably hear it from here to Mexico to Alaska to Denver.

As we are about to lose our local progressive talk station, I have to confess I really like it all.
“MS” was my favorite, but I liked “Unfiltered” too (often it was like listening to a girl’s club after listening to a boy’s club). Franken has great guests and I’ve learned a lot from his show, even if he gets somewhat tiresome; I adore “Ring of Fire” and try never to miss
“State of Belief”…heck, I’d be happy if all I had to listen to was
the AAR lineup all day. I’ve never really taken to Stephanie Miller or Ed Schultz – I don’t feel the sincerity and passion I do with the AAR
hosts. And frankly, I liked the fact that the show hosts are not in lock step with each other. If my independent speculative analysis
leads me in a direction that Al and Rachel don’t follow – it’s likely
Malloy or Pap will. We had great local content too.
A recent local newspaper article sums up our feelings:
http://www.madison.com/tct/features/stories/index.php?ntid=108969
It was empowering and helped me keep my sanity. I owe all
at AAR a debt of gratitude. I hope they will soldier on.
Gotta run. Hope to see many problems of the world resolved here when I get back and an announcement of a new Maron vehicle.

Any insight into what the sale of Clear Channel portends? More opportunity for prog millionaires to buy stations or is it just a ploy to take the stock off the market and not have the constant pressure to maximize profits? Take all the time you need:joe:

Feds crack down on teen, preteen ‘model’ sites
Florida firm’s owners face child porn charges for provocative photos of kids
(snip)
“The images charged are not legitimate child modeling, but rather lascivious poses one would expect to see in an adult magazine,” U.S. Attorney Alice H. Martin said in a statement announcing the indictments and the closure of all the Webe Web sites. “Here lewd has met lucrative, and exploitation of a child’s innocence equals profits.”
In an e-mail interview, Martin told MSNBC.com that prosecutors will press charges against the defendants for photos showing the young girls scantily clothed but not nude under a federal statute that deems images that “show lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area” to be child pornography.
No nudity, but ‘sexually suggestive poses’
“There are no semi-nude or nude images,” she said. “The children are dressed in underwear, adult lingerie, high heels, etc., and placed in sexually suggestive poses which focus the viewer’s attention on the genital or pubic area. Some are posed with facial expressions and in positions that suggest a willingness to engage in sexual activity.”

From bob (Air America archivist at Air America Place)
UPDATE: AAR remains on the air at least through next week. They are in advanced talk with a buyer, and things may be resolved as early as early next week. AAR expects that AL will be on the air in January when he returns from the USO tour and AAR returns from the holidays.
Also, AL and Thom have managed to hold on to many stations against Ed Schultz. Thom says he hasn’t lost 1 station to Ed.
Also
I’m gonna do my best to keep podcasts coming of any and all surviving AAR shows if and when the guillotine falls. I’m also gong to be re-opening the AAR deep archive right here at AAP. It will contain almost every AAR show ever broadcast.
CBS) This commentary was written by CBSNews.com’s Dick Meyer.
This is a story I should have written 12 years ago when the “Contract with America” Republicans captured the House in 1994. I apologize.
Really, it’s just a simple thesis: The men who ran the Republican Party in the House of Representatives for the past 12 years were a group of weirdos. Together, they comprised one of the oddest legislative power cliques in our history. And for 12 years, the media didn’t call a duck a duck, because that’s not something we’re supposed to do.

The iconic figures of this era were Newt Gingrich, Richard Armey and Tom Delay. They were zealous advocates of free markets, low taxes and the pursuit of wealth; they were hawks and often bellicose; they were brutal critics of big government.
Yet none of these guys had success in capitalism. None made any real money before coming to Congress. None of them spent a day in uniform. And they all spent the bulk of their adult careers getting paychecks from the big government they claimed to despise. Two resigned in disgrace.

So Sblue what do you mean when you say (be specific): “I think hearing cnick take credit for what happened threw me over the edge the other night” and “maybe I am also a little miffed at being invited to a party and finding the front door locked. (skype fest) anyway I am also entitled to my opinion.”
Did you even listen to my podcast? I’d suggest you go back and listen again. Obviously you’re hearing something that just isn’t there. And coming into this blog and trashing me for something I had nothing to do with! It was not me that ran NickiRose or Susan Joy off this blog. If you’d listen CAREFULLY to my podcast I think you’d hear me say that! All I can figure from your posts here is that you are trying to misrepresent the facts. I think you need to offer an apology to me here on this blog.
If you want to confront me I’ll be on the air live tomorrow afternoon @ 2:00 P.M. (Central time).
Explosive issue pits future jobs against nukes
Critics question need for a plutonium center at Test Site
The federal government is looking for a place to resume what it stopped doing 17 years ago at its notorious Rocky Flats facility in Colorado: manufacturing the metal cores at the heart of nuclear weapons. And this time it has Southern Nevada in its sights.
The Nevada Test Site, the Rhode Island-sized swath of federal land used for decades for above- and below-ground test detonations of nuclear bombs, is one of five places in the country under consideration to host the manufacturing process.
Intrinsic to the process is the manufacturing of plutonium – a task that is both industrial and high-tech that would bring jobs and educational opportunities to the Las Vegas region. It also conjures up memories of environmental nightmares and, opponents argue, unnecessarily escalates the manufacturing of nuclear weapons.
The weapon cores, called “pits,” are manufactured from an isotope of plutonium – a toxic metal formed by exposing uranium to radiation in a nuclear reactor, then chemically or mechanically isolating the metal. The federal government got into the business of making plutonium pits during the Manhattan Project in World War II. The research, design and manufacture of nuclear weapons continued over the next five decades at 16 sites scattered around the United States – many of which have left legacies of serious ongoing environmental problems.
Rocky Flats, outside Denver, was the primary manufacturing plant for all nuclear weapons, employing 10,000 people during the height of production in the mid-1980s.
http://tinyurl.com/ygdf56
===============================
Lets hope they give up under the dems .. Rocky Flats legacy is one of lots of accidents that could have blown West Denver off the face of the earth .. The people in las Vegas would not appreciate being disappeared in that way ..:yuck::yuck::eek::crap::reaper:

Well censorship will not work for me. So there. If someone has a beef with me I think they should confront me head on. And not lay around and wait till I’m off line to go on the attack.

I hope you NickiRose/Susan Joy lovers get you’re wish and they return soon along with RoxieSeattle so you all will be happy. As far as I know PJ is the only one who can BAN people from this blog. So if NickiRose and Susan Joy want to be here I guess they are free to return. I’m certainly not keeping them away. Why is it that I’m the only one being attacked here? Huh.

AAR did – does – a lot for progressive radio. They made a lot of people realize that there was a market for it. It’s just lamentable that they were so badly mismanaged. With all the enthusiasm for their content, and all the raw talent that they had on board, if they had had just marginally competent management, things would have been so different. A shame, but it was just a step on the way to what I hope will be a better world. We need to figure out what it is that we can do to move all of this forward.
:cat:lets push things forward!
Speaking of underage, I was working as a projectionist in a porn theatre when word broke that Traci Lords was underage. Had to pull all of her content right then and there. Very major deal (her movies were quite popular). Such a different world back then. It was back in the 1980’s, just before porn went video, and certainly well before the Internet brought porn to every home in the world that wanted it.

JimWallis will be speaking on the weekly Dem radio address tomorrow. I’ll have to find where I can listen.
Oh, I was serious. When I broke into the union as a projectionist, the porn theatres were where you started. Not really my cuppa tea, but great experience, ‘cuz the film was in bad shape, and broke all the time, and you had to put it together and work out a 13.5 hour schedule. People always think the projectionist is watching the movie, but that’s not how it works. I used to get a ton of reading done.
Hey Andy, I’m sure my wife will be going on the 27th. Not sure if I can go. Depends on the dog and school and all.
Looks like the Pa. State house went to the Dems!! It’s been longer than I can remember.
Hey PJ, yeah there’s a local chapter here and they’re getting a bus or two. I’ll probably go down with them, one the members works with me in the after school program in Chester. I guess that means I’ll have to put “real” picture of myself on the blog so your wife will recognize me.
I understand regarding “the reading”. I got to go up to the projectionist room for different reasons when I worked in one as I went to school — a friend studied there, too, as he ran the films but not porn teehee.
